Krishan Thakker built a legal practice on the questions no single country can answer
Most lawyers pick a legal system and spend a career inside it. Krishan Thakker, who practices as Krish Thakker, learned two at once. He earned an LL.B. from King's College London and a J.D. from Columbia Law School through an Anglo American dual degree program, studying English common law and American law in parallel instead of choosing. He is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, New York, and Pennsylvania, and before the Supreme Court of the United States and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He holds citizenship in India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

NOT A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO MANIFESTING
NOT A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO MANIFESTING A Quiet Word With the Universe From Yourself I am not going to teach you how to manifest. There are enough people doing that already, usually while sitting in a perfect white room with a candle burning, three crystals lined up like obedient little soldiers and not a speck of dust anywhere. My house does not work like that, and neither does my mind. My thoughts arrive together, all talking at once, while the kettle is boiling and something I put down two minutes ago has mysteriously disappeared. This is not another guide promising that the universe will deliver everything you desire before teatime. This is simply a quiet word with the universe from myself.

When the Mountains Lost Two of Their Voices
There are losses that belong to a family, losses that belong to a town, and then there are losses that seem to reach across an entire world. This week has brought me two of those losses. First came Dolly Parton, whose death on August 25 broke my heart in a way I had trouble putting into words. Then, yesterday, came the news that Wendell Berry had died at his home in Kentucky at the age of ninety-two. I sat with that news this morning and felt something I had already been carrying grow heavier. The Appalachian Mountains had lost two voices that had spoken to generations of us, and for me, those voices had been part of my life since childhood.

Who is Marie381Uk
Who Is Marie381UK? The Story of George’s Girl The woman behind more than 4,000 poems I feel a bit daft writing something about myself. Blowing my own trumpet has never come naturally to me, and part of me wondered whether people might think, “Who does she think she is?”

William Dunn left wine and spirits at 50 to buy a cleaning company. Two years later it had doubled.
In early 2022, William Dunn and his leadership team pulled themselves headfirst through a mud pit on national television. The setting was CNBC's No Retreat: Business Bootcamp, a reality series hosted by Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena, and CNS Cleaning Company was one of only six businesses chosen from across the country to compete. Crawling through mud is an odd look for the president of a commercial cleaning company. Dunn signed up anyway.

Lost in a Sea of Backpacks
I went into that market looking for exactly one thing. A decent, sturdy backpack for university. That was the entire plan, nothing more. I figured I would grab something functional in fifteen minutes and be back home before my tea got cold.

When You Can't See The Wood For The Trees
We often have problems with things and spend so much time and effort trying to find the solution. We cannot see things that when we see them look so simple. Usually in a work situation you can ask for help from a work colleague and as soon as they come to help you with the problem you see the answer that has maybe been staring you in the face.

The Best Grammar Checking Tools for Medium Writers in 2026 (Tested on My Own Articles)
I used to think grammar checkers were a nice-to-have. Then I republished an 8-minute article with a glaring "their" instead of "there" in the second paragraph, watched the read-through rate quietly drop, and never made that mistake again. On Medium, where readers decide in the first three lines whether you're worth their time, a sloppy sentence isn't a small thing. It's the difference between someone finishing your piece and someone bouncing to the next tab.
